This is a very interesting, sweet white wine, where the grapes, as is always the case with Passito types in Italy, are gently plucked and then dried, either open air or in specially designed drying rooms for a week prior to being pressed.
This vinification produces an intense straw yellow to amber dessert white wine, that has an ethereal and intense aroma, and a balanced taste that ranges from medium to very sweet.
The grape composition is the same as in the drier/sweeter Elba Ansonica, namely Ansonica (85-100%), to which other, local green grapes may also be added(0-15%).
So let’s just get one thing straight: at Lombardia (or Lombardy), Italy’s most populated and industrialized region, doesn’t exactly prioritize wine production. Actually, the combined output isn’t that significant, and what is produced is normally consumed locally, especially the wines from Oltrepò Pavese.
